ORONO WEEKLY TIMES CHAMBER of COMMERCE MEETING This column is open to the public as a j'orum for the expression of opin- ion. The views expressed may or may not agree with the views of the edi- tor who accepts no responsibility fur them and their appearance in this column does1 not imply the, ëridorga- tion of the publisher. 'â-  ' 1 I am writing this article with the hope that you will find room ..in your valuable paper for the publishing of it, mid run writing in the interest of hockey.. At the present time we; have a fine closed-in rink here at Orono, but the ice surface is too small for hockey ou O.II.A. rules for part; of this rink is taken up by the curlers, therefoie we cannot; hold any O.H.A. games here. The curling rink at the present time is to narrow and low to alow for good curling. The rink could be easily enlarged by raising up the east side, which is of sheet metal and then put on a new sheet metal side. Tihii$ would be a great benefit to the Agricultural Society. It would mean increased rental charges from the rink which alone would soon make tip the cost for remodelling. It would also attract more people to come here to skate," and then we could play 0. H.A. hockey. As the-rink is now, good hockey can never be played in Orono, but-with an ice surface of re- gulation, size we would then be in a position to draw good hockey, teams here, also draw more skaters in, the evenings, and also have a better curl- ing ice, which would be built on the east; side of the rink. The Agricultural 'Society embraces Boiwm an ville. They have no rink there and they would be quite willing to patronize our rink and even play their OJI.A. home games hero. 1 have spoken to several from New- castle, Newton ville and Bowman- ville who feel that, they are entitled to some consideration from this or- ganization and if same, is not forth- coming they will band together and put up a rink of their own.. M. CO WAX COUNCIL TAKES OA,’n,? - (Go lit J ijued' from page 1.) . ! ;;.! V'.U.ir-;-': i ' and W6 îiBitï; a very â-  pb,(sa‘ot time together la.$t year,, ' ao •disagree, • a;r ; the council very . dom ni thi.s is a . very â-  good i-Fi'if n j. O'Ë i£L eouucii that is always quarrelling and disagree ing seldom make a »u< fÉesetâul cpun-cil and the ratepayers a re the ones who -suffer. 1 admit that we. do not always agree but we thn ash -the matter over and take the best policy, this is.always to the advantage of the .ratepayers. We have now for several years car- ried. on the work of the township without borrowing. We, of the coun- cil have to pay out taxes-as other ratepayers, so we are very ' careful with the township money and do not throw it away. After the speaking Mr. Reid told of his talk with one ratepayer • when we were hot sure if there would be an election or not, This ratepayer told him thefe was no néed of an election this1 year, the council did good work throughout 1937 and were entitled to an acclamation, this seemeil to ho 1 lie general feeling around: the 1 township, and now it is up to: us to do our best for the con- fidence placed in us by the rate- payers. Mr. Loveekin said when he was in Oobourg he was talking to Mr. Poÿniton, who said it was a good idea of Clarke Township Council making their own snow fences, and that they would save money by doing so. at the same time give employment to un- employed men and also keep the money in the municipality. Clarke is the first council To start, in this work, which might lead into them supplying the snow fences for the county, thereby working up a new. industry for the township. BIBLE CLASS ELECT OFFICERS Last Sunday. January 9th, the Park Street Bible Class held their election of officers. The election was conducted by Misses Eileen Riddell and, Lillian Allen; The officers were as follows : President â€"- Neil Wood. Vice-President â€" Thelma Myles. •Secretary -â€" George Rowe. Sec.-Treas.â€"Ethel Stark. Visiting Committee â€" Ebid Cob- bled®, Beatrice lLumn, John Keane and! Marlow Hancock. Mr, Robert Sherwin was again chosen as teacher of the Bible Class, Members of the class welcome anyone •to attend their Sunday meetings. , functions were discussed was decided to hold a skat- ;,r ii 1 the near future. , .(Continued,, from page one) . if there was any new business, and said that if any member or citizen could think of anything to the ad- vantage of thé village asked them to bring jt before the officers and direc- tors of the Association, that they al- ways were ready to receive new .ideas and anything else that might help upbuild the community. He then spoke on the hydro ques- tion, -rating that he was favourable for the purchase of the system three years ago,: and -was now stronger than ever for it, also if we had worked harder we would have carried it, three years ago. He told off a trip he made to F-enelou Falls. and said their rates there were 3c. and 1-1.-2 cents. He also stated he was ready at all times to explain all about hydro to anyone who would like to know of the benefits they would dérivé if they owned their own system. Percy Linen suggested that some- thing should be done in regard to showing:people that if any poles need- ed replacing or that transformer- were, worn out the local system would have to pay for them, in any case, whether they owned; the system or not. W. E. Armstrong suggested that the Chamber of Commerce have Mr. George Jamicisoti, now a Hydro Com- missioner of Newcastle, come to Orono to a meeting and have him tel] about the hydro in Newcastle af- ter they have received their 13th:bill, as he was once a local boy lie would not be apt to lead us astray on the question. Mr. A. J. Knox said that as far as lie knew, at the other vote on hydro the south end of the village had been solid against the purchase. It is that the people do not under- stand: the question, and felt sure that if it were thoroughly expia tied they would be in favour of owning the system. Mr, 0. T. Miller said the; Hydro would cost somewhere around $7800, that this, would only mean about 2 per cent, of the total assessment of the village. He was strongly in favor of informing the people with factsâ-  ;â- . : ! figures', all about the Hydro y ues- 1 Mr. Riddell. sMdl^um.lravelfo^f and far, '"'One man told Mr. Harry Mercer that if -Orono wanted new hydro poles they could come to hi- swamp, mark any trees they wanted and he would, cut them and Charge 70c. a pole, the only other expense to the village would he the hauling. One hundred poles: would only cost $70.00, and .they would cover many streets if poles" were needed re- placing. Mr. Dent; asked the question : “Could anyone tell him; of one place that had bought hydro and had not derived benefits thereby.” No one could. J. E, Arm-tr.mg thought that it would be a good idea if the Chamber of Commerce would interview the Provincial Government, ami ask that spruce trees' be planted on, both sides of the highway between Orono and .Newcastle to help keep the road open during the winter. Some discussion followed this but nothing w,as done. Mr. Riddell, then brought up the question of 1 light manufacturing. There are a number of places that have gone after these industries and have got them, so why not us. , If the Chamber of (Aummence could only induce one to come here, we would have accomplished something. If we do not help ourselves no one else will. .Re the Hydro question the Presi- dent, Treasurere and the legal ad- viser â- â- "Mr. R. R. Waddell, were ap- pui ml ed a committee: to wait on the Police Trustees next Monday. 1 A motion, an amendment to the motion and an amendment to the amendment, were triade with regard to the best way of informing the rate- payers the advantage's they would de- rive if they owned their own system, ni-iT; withdrawn, and it Was moved and seconded by M. Cowan and: L. A, Dent that this matter be left to the directors to do whatever they may see fit, Mr. M. Cowan then brought before the meeting a question about the skating rink. He said what he would like to bring to the attention' of the people is the lack of facilities' for the playing of hockey in Orono. Any sportsmen know that- the rink, as now divided miaikes for the decided disad- vantage of hockey. 1 understand that the Agricultural (Society has consented: to reducing the size of the hockey cushion in order to satisfy a few individuals who wish to curl. T have no opposition to curling as I like to curl myself, but 1 do- think that representation should he made front this organization to submit plans in. the nature of swing boards1 which would allow a larger skating surface, and also curling.

YOUNcTpEOPLE’S SOCIETY The Young People’s Association of Park Street United Church at their weekly meeting, Monday evening had their program in the form of an enjoyable old-fashioned sleighrkle party. The members met at the church at 7.45 -and. three sleighs were needed to accommodate the 1 happy crowd. The parity drove to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hancock, who were recently married. The young people presented them with a number of useful kitchen utensils. A pleasant evening was spent by all playing games and having a sociable, time. A tasty lunch of sandwiches, cake and' coffee was served. Classified STORES CLOSE EVERY EVENING EXCEPT SATURDAYS *. municipalities stores close at 6.80 -all the year rormxh' -.- This is essentially a farming com- munity and farmers avoid travelling over snow and ice: covered1 roads at night. It was therefore decided at, a special meeting of all the merteh^iits; in t-lie town of Orono that it would, not inconvenience anybody if the stores-closed every night excepting Saturday night un'ti'l March 15th, and at, the same time would greatly assist- the merchants in reducing light and fu-el- Mils, This saving undoubtedly will be passed onto you in the form of lower prices. ----------0---to-------- Read- the Advertisements.

Jim Powers and Ronald Patterson were the two coaches and under their able instructions the girls learned some of the finer points of the game and later played a twenty minute game. Miss Enid: Gobbled! ck and Miss Mlar- jorie Sisson lined their teams 'up and the girls went after that flying piece of rubber like experienced veterans) With two minutes -of the ganje elapsed! Miss Sisson grabbed a loose puck at centre ice and sped1 towards the enemy goal. . She split, the stal- wart defense of Ethel Stark and Olive -Brown and neatly placed the rubber behind Ruth Goode in the net. This was the only score of the game! but Miss Oobbledieh’s: team game- elope more than once. However it ended 1 to 0. We want you to -all be on hand to give the girls your whole-hearted support, in the future. interested in the growing up genera- tion of boys and girls there is? no doubt that something must be done to remedy this situation. Or as an alternative, J move that if satisfaction is not forthcoming that a move for an open air rink should be sponsored by this organ- ization. Mr. Rolph informed Mir. Cowan I hat the Chamber of Commerce ; had nothing to do with the rink, and did not see that they could1 do anything, and advised Mr. Cowan to place his suggestion before the annua! meet- ing of Durham Central Agricultural meeting to be held this coming Fri - day afternoon art Orono at 2 p.m. The meeting then adjourned.
